Released by [[Company:Novell|Novell]] in 1983, the S-Net operating system was an entirely proprietary operating system written for the [[Engineering:Motorola 68000|Motorola 68000]] processor. It used a star network topology.

S-Net has also been called '''NetWare 68''', with the 68 denoting the 68000 processor. It was superseded by NetWare 86, which was written for the [[Engineering:Intel 8086|Intel 8086]] processor, in 1985.
